Q: Hello 5i,

Thank you for the great work and your valued perspective through this volatility. How would you rank stocks within the Forestry sector today for an investor with a 3-5+ year hold?

The sector is looking interesting to me based on the present weakness in U.S. housing. WEF is up significantly today and your perspective on long-term opportunities in the sector is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I have held HBC for a couple of years and wonder why it trades at such a low price. It has $4 billion in property, plant and equipment but that doesn't seem to be reflected in its stock price. On the common shares along it is worth over $20/share. What am I missing here?

Thanks - Ron

Q: I have a long time to wait on investments and don’t have much interest in trading, as I prefer value investing.
1)I’m still up 30% on Nvidia, with a long term in mind. Do you think it’s better to sell out now and buy back later, or do you see enough growth and value coming to make it better to just sit on and wait?

2)I’m trying to build the core of my portfolio around long term holdings in strong dividend payers (with a bias towards aristocrats) and use all drips available, and even proxy drips through my broker when I need to. Could you give me your top 1-3 dividend payers for each Sector (with a bias towards dividend growth and safety/ aristocrats).
Also, I’ve read lots of articles that state that dividend investing on average out performs the market by a few% per year, just without most of the wild swings. Do you agree?
Hopefully my rambling makes sense...
Thanks
